In the Pines

Bill Monroe

The longest train I ever saw
Went down that Georgia line
The engine passed at six o'clock
And the cab passed by at nineIn the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hooI asked my captain for the time of day
He said he throwed his watch away
A long steel rail and a short cross tie
I'm on my way back homeIn the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hooLittle girl, little girl, what have I done
That makes you treat me so?
You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn
You caused me to leave my homeIn the pines, in the pines
Where the sun never shines
And we shiver when the cold wind blows
Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hoo
